I agree if family and friends could get her away long enough to do an intervention and keep her away long enough to do some serious therapy so she could understand the damage that's being done to her, then maybe she could see that this is not love, and could leave this monster. unfortunately, it's possible he will try to hunt her down if she tries to leave him, but it's probabaly her only chance. is the family willing?
I also agree that meds aren't always necessary. Things like xanax help with anxiety, they aren't always necessary. i guess it depends on each person. But i can't imagine that she won't need therapy. if you can get her out of there, make sure she gets a good therapist.
